oh no that didn't happen to me, I was just quoting from the site, damn now
that would have been funny though.

Although one time Paradise tried pinging my IP address and complained that
it wasn't responding, I had to explain to them about ICMP ping and that my
firewall at the time was dropping the packets they had sent, kind of
strange.

It's also kind of sad when ISPs don't support the same operating system
that pretty much runs the internet!

/rant over :)
